Chapter 2548: Red Bathtub

The latest website: Two days later, in the first class cabin of a certain plane.

"Director Jiao is not right. This case only has a relatively large influence in Guangdong Province, but in fact," Wu Xiumin said, "it is not comparable to the Ghost King case we have encountered before!"

"Yes," Zeng Ke said, "When we were in school, the teacher used to give us a lecture on this case. The so-called red bathtub case means that the murderer cut the victim's artery and dyed the bathtub red with the victim's blood... ..."

"Don't tell me..." Cui Lizhu said from the side, "I've heard about this case too, my father took me to Yunzhou before, this case is indeed very famous in Yunzhou!

"I remember, the murderer should be a foreigner, right?"

"Peter," said Wu Xiumin, "an Englishman, an architect..."

"Oh? Foreigner?" Miao Ying was very curious. "In what year did this case... happen?"

"19...um..." Wu Xiumin recalled, "It should be 1980!"

"No," Zeng Ke corrected, "This case lasted for two years, and there were four victims. The crime started in 1980, and the case was closed in 1982!"

"There is such a case..." Ran Tao scratched his head habitually, "This is the first time I've heard of it."

"Never mind, this case is indeed similar to the Ghost King case," Zeng Ke said, "At the scene of the crime, apart from the bathtub stained red with blood, there were also some sacrificial items!

"Everyone suspects that the murderer Peter is performing some kind of religious ceremony!"

"The four victims..." Miao Ying asked, "What happened to them?"

"They're all women," Wu Xiumin replied, "They're all prostitutes from Yunzhou..."

"Where is the crime location?" Cui Lizhu interrupted and asked, "At least it must be a place with a bathtub?"

"Yes," Wu Xiumin said, "Because of historical reasons, there are many historic European-style buildings in Yunshan District and Zhaoyang District of Yunzhou. In the bathrooms of these buildings, bathtubs are basically standard equipment..."

"Wait...wait..." Cui Lizhu asked hastily, "Didn't you say that, like the Ghost King case, a new case has emerged? You just said,

The Red Tub Killer has been caught, it's Alien Peter!

"1980 was 40 years ago, don't tell me that the case we are taking over now has something to do with the red bathtub murder case 40 years ago!

"Sister Miao, what kind of case are we going to solve?"

"Two days ago, a female corpse was found in an old bungalow in Yunshan District, Yunzhou," Miao Ying said. "The female corpse was soaked in a bathtub. The scene of the crime is very similar to the red bathtub case 40 years ago!

"Also, the old bungalow where the crime happened happened to be the scene of one of the red bathtub murders that year. Therefore, the murderer should be imitating Peter, or... has some other purpose!"

"Oh... If that's the case...then this case shouldn't be particularly complicated, right?" Cui Lizhu said, "What year is it now? Surveillance is everywhere. If the murderer wants to sneak into the old bungalow and kill people, he will definitely leave a lot of clues... ..."

"I advise you not to be too happy!" Ran Tao said, "48 hours have passed since the case, if it was really that easy to solve, the criminal department would not have sent us here!"

"I don't know the specific situation yet," Miao Ying said, "Because the Red Bathtub case has had a great influence in the local area, the higher-ups are worried about other problems in the case, so they sent us to host it!

"Everyone, don't be careless, Zhao Yu is not here, we can't smash the golden signboard of Detective Zhao!"

Because of the special situation, Miao Ying did not explain Zhao Yu's situation in detail to the team members. She could only tell everyone that Zhao Yu had accepted a new mission and was leaving the special investigation team temporarily.

Although everyone was worried, they basically got used to Zhao Yu's unique rhythm, so they didn't get too entangled.

However, because of the special situation, it was impossible for Simona to follow the special dispatch team, so she could only be temporarily handed over to the Secret Service to protect her.

"I have to say... um..." Cui Lizhu said angrily, "I really can't adapt without the boss! I always feel that something is missing..."

"It's okay, Sister Miao is right!" Ran Tao said confidently, "Without the boss, we should do our best and don't embarrass him!"

"He's an old man, you are several years older than Zhao Yu..." Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue, "You might be pretending to be tender..."

"Why are you pretending to be tender!" Ran Tao said while stroking his beard, "I'm ready to grow a beard, you can call me uncle in the future..."

"Okay, let's take a look at the file and make preparations!" Miao Ying sent everyone the case information and instructed, "Old rules, everyone should be clear about it first, and then perform their duties!

"Team leader Zhao is not here, and I am here!"

"Choose to death and buy big!" Ran Tao saluted, and everyone hurriedly took out their mobile phones and went to check the information carefully...

Miao Ying turned her head and moved her gaze out of the porthole.

Outside the window are piles of clouds floating in the sea. At the end of the clouds, half of the sun can be seen shining in it...

It is impossible to say that I am not worried about Zhao Yu!

However, Miao Ying deeply knew that her worries were useless. Once Zhao Yu made a decision, eight horses would not be able to pull her back!

However, Miao Ying really couldn't figure it out, how should Zhao Yu act?

What is he going to do?

Did he want to hide in the dark and look for the enemy's accomplices who stayed in the country?

Or...he wants to rescue those hostages kidnapped and threatened by the enemy alone?

Or, is he going to Paris to save Amelola?

What's more, he wants to go straight to the successor's lair to uncover the mystery of the successor?

Zhao Yu...

You are only one person, how can you complete such a difficult movement?

Who made that mysterious call to you?

You took Xi Wei's top-secret documents, but most of those documents have been destroyed, so they are worthless?

tsk tsk...

Disappointed, Miao Ying opened the backpack she was carrying, and took out a yellow leather notebook from it!

This notebook was not the one left to Zhao Yu by Mr. Jin back then, which recorded the five major unsolved cases in the country.

With the end of the five unsolved cases, the yellow leather notebook has been treasured by Zhao Yu.

The one in front of him was bought by Zhao Yu later, and he has also developed a habit like Mr. Jin. Every time he goes to a different place to solve a case, he will make a record in his notebook!

Opening the book, there are many cases that Zhao Yu has handled in the past. Although the writing is crooked, it is extremely neat. It is hard to imagine that Zhao Yu, who is so rude, can be so careful, hardly missing any details!

so……

Looking at the dense records, Miao Ying sighed in her heart. It seems that Zhao Yu's success is not accidental. Although he has a certain talent, his success is also inseparable from his hard work!

On the first page of the notebook, Zhao Yu continued to use the classic sentence of Jin Lao: "Behind every crime is a liter of tears"!

In the eyes of bystanders, this sentence is embarrassing.

But in the eyes of the detectives who solved the case, it has already become a kind of motivation!

It is precisely because of knowing how important the detection of the case is to the victims, it motivates them to do a good job in every detection work!

okay!

Miao Ying stroked the notebook lightly, turned the notebook to the blank space at the back, took out a fountain pen, and wrote three words neatly: "Red-bath-cub"...
